Janie Ann's playhouse!

Seth has worked really hard for the past week building Janie Ann a playhouse! He has thought it out for over a week- the perfect house for his princess- and it has slowly come together!

Janie Ann and I would go out periodically and check on the progress and she would get SO excited!!

The ramp to the house!

Almost complete! Slide attached, house almost completely painted- only a few more special touches and we will be outside ALL THE TIME!

We have to paint the trim white and attach it; Seth also is thinking about all the extra stuff he wants to add to the house! We purchased Jamaican Sea as the paint color- so we are thinking a "tiki torch" theme...? We will post more pictures once the entire playhouse is complete!

Janie's Hair Looks Like A Rockstar!!

Janie has rockstar hair or should I say softrock star hair!

This little girl is too funny and I can't get enough of her! Here are some of the pictures of Janie with her spend the night company, her cousin Georgia!

Old Pictures!

Well, I have uploaded the pictures in the wrong order...again!

Anyways- Janie Ann LOVES the little rocker that was mine when I was little, the only thing is she LOVES to STAND UP in it! Not the safest activity to participate in!

If I had to guess, she was looking at her daddy with those big blue eyes trying to convince him that it was ok for her to be standing in the chair!

I LOVE it when she sits in the rocker (or any chair) and 'reads' her books. She is really beginning to love books and Santa brought her some tiny "Melmo" books that she loves to put them in her bag and take with her!

First pair of Tennis Shoes!

Janie Ann has PLENTY of "girly" shoes...black Mary Janes, Orange/white polka dot Mary Janes, brown Mary Janes, blue loafers, pink loafers, boots, pink sparkly TOMS...but she hasn't had any tennis shoes! I have tried and tried to convince her daddy that she needed some Gray or Pink New Balances, but with a price of $45 dollars (or close to it) for some shoes that she will barely wear- I have been unsuccessful in my begging! (Hence- the reason Gigi had to purchase the TOMS for Christmas!) But tonight while at Target (my FAVORITE store EVER) we went through the shoe section to see if we could find her some new boots and while they didn't have any boots, they did have the super cute tennis shoes and for a GREAT price! Of course I had to try them on her as soon as I could and she wore them the rest of the night!

I tried to get her in the picture and she was not having it!

Therefore we only have pictures of the shoes!! Can you tell she might be a little bolegged?

Dress up!

Every little girl LOVES to play dress up...right?? YES! The other night I was putting up some of Janie Ann's clothes in her closet and we have some of her dresses that we want to keep hanging in the back and I decided that Janie Ann wanted to play dress up! ;) So I pulled out her Easter dress from last year and put it on her!

She didn't want to take it off! She is getting SO big! Seth took her to the doctor on Monday and she weighed 24 lbs and was 32 inches tall! We go back next month for her 15 month shots and we will get a growth chart to compare her height to other kiddos her age!

What do you do at 3 AM?

Well- when you are on a steroid and cough syrup you become CRAZY and keep your parents up from midnight until 6 AM! Janie Ann had a ROUGH night Tuesday night! I got home from class around 10 and Seth already had Janie Ann asleep and we were both exhausted and ready for bed. We got in the bed and fell asleep for a nice long nights sleep....so we thought! At midnight we hear Janie Ann crying/screaming- it was pitiful. She was coughing uncontrollably and we weren't sure if we should just let her cry herself back to sleep or go get her- give her more medicine, rock her back to sleep and lay her down. Of course, after not seeing her all day- I HAD to go get her and soothe her back to sleep...little did I know that she would not/could not be soothed back to sleep that night. After giving her some more cough syrup and rocking for 45 minutes, her daddy switched out with me and he rocked her until 2:30 am. At that point we switched again...thinking surely she can't make it much longer! At 3:00 she wanted a "bite" and ate an entire bowl of Puffs- quickly- and from there she wanted to RUN! So I put her down in the playroom thinking, "I will let her play for a little while and THAT will make her tired"...WRONG! She ran and ran and ran- around the playroom, living room, down the hall- screaming, laughing, screaming, whining...pure craziness! She FINALLY went to sleep around 5:45-6:00 am. Seth and I neither had any sleep and both called in because there was no way we could send her to MeMaw's and us survive at work- we talked to the doctor and decided that it was cough syrup that was making her so wild and so we haven't given it to her again and we have had 1 night of good sleep- about to go for night #2!

Below are a few pictures of her playroom....

Before- all nice and clean

After

If you notice- nothing is on the shelves where it belongs and all the toys are piled up where she threw them! We still haven't cleaned up the mess! :)

Praying for a great nights sleep...

First Haricut!

Janie Ann was a PRO! She never got upset or anything! Ami did a wonderful job trimming up the back of her hair to make it even, and hopefully help it grow all at the same length! It did take some convincing her daddy to let us trim it, but they both did a great job!

I have a picture of the back of her hair on my phone and it will not let me email it to myself right now,
